Hook Review Summary

Reviewers refer to Hook as "Peter Pan ... Part 2," as it's what happens after the original Peter Pan ends. Robin Williams stars as Peter, a workaholic father, who "returns to Neverland with Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts)" and "must remember how to be Peter Pan again in order to save his children by battling with Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) once again." Some viewers see this as "the greatest kids' movie ever" and feel of all the remakes, "Hook is by far the best," as they mostly enjoy the work of Williams, yet also Roberts who adds a voice to Tinkerbell for the first time, and Hoffman who is "scary enough to give your kids a thrill without giving them nightmares." Hook is just a "great remake of an old classic." For another take on the Peter Pan story, look up Finding Neverland.

Peter Pan... Part 2
a dreamer, a movie lover, a child at heart

When I first saw Hook, I was younger and I thought it was the most fantastic movie. Now I'm an adult, and I still love this movie to death.  So you've seen Peter Pan, what is this movie about?? Like my title says, it's what happens AFTER Peter Pan ends.

Basic Plot
The basic plot is revealed late in the movie, so I won't give it away. Instead I'll just explain a little of the beginning. Peter Banning is a hard working guy. Work is his life, and his kids and wife are on the back burner. Peter and Moira Banning's (Robin Williams and Caroline Goodall) kids are kidnapped right near the beginning, and... read full review »

   Peter Banning (Robin Williams) is afraid of hights and flying, loves his children less than he should, and cares more about his job than about his family.  What Peter doesn't know is that his old foster mother, Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith) is the Wendy from the story of Peter Pan.  Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) knows this, however, and when Peter and his family visit Wendy in London, he kidnaps Peter's children.  Peter must go back to Never Never Land, remember who he is, learn how to be Peter Pan, overcome his fear of heights and flying, and rescue his children before Hook can brainwash...

the greatest kids movie ever
into Independent Films, an infrequent movie goer, waiting for the DVD, a comedy fan

Hook is a marvelous movie made even better by robin williams and dustin hoffman.  I have seen several remakes of peter pan and Hook is by far the best. robin williams is excellent as a workaholic who doesn't believe in anything but work.  Like most fathers he is so busy building a fortune that his family ends up neglected.  When he goes to london with his family and his children are kidnapped by the infamous Hook he goes through a lot of denial that what he is seeing is anything other than his imagination.  Through it all tink encourages the lost boys to help peter remember who he is.

This movie has turned into a real classic. I loved it when it first came out and watched it over and over again with my children as they grew older. We actually wore out our first copy and i recently had to purchase another one. Its a magical trip into your imagination both for adults and kids.
